What is the newest Boeing plane?


What is the newest Boeing plane? The 777X is Boeing's newest family of twin-aisle airplanes that builds on the passenger-preferred and market-leading 777.


Why is Boeing 777 famous?

The Boeing 777 is the world's largest twin-engine long-range airliner. It has a capacity of between 314 and 396 passengers, a flight crew of two, and up thirteen flight attendants. The 777 was the first commercial airliner to be designed entirely with computer-aided design tools.


How long will 777 last?

The 777-300ER can do 60,000 cycles, but only 160,000 hours. Few aircraft in service today are even close to these limits. Smaller planes flying shorter flights more often will likely reach end-of-life after fewer hours, but may be designed to handle many more cycles with that in mind.


Is Boeing 777 bigger than 787?

The Boeing 777 is larger than the 787 and thus can carry more passengers. Even comparing the largest 787-10 to the 777-200ER puts it ahead only by 17 seats while shedding significant range. The 777-300ER leads the Dreamliners with 396 seats and almost the same range as the 787-9.


Will 777X replace 777?

For Emirates, which currently maintains a fleet exclusively of Airbus A380 and Boeing 777 aircraft, the future is clearly the 777X. For this reason, the carrier has placed a massive order split between 777-8 jets to replace aging 777s and 777-9s to replace its Airbus Super Jumbos.


Is 777 faster than A380?

The Airbus A380 can reach speeds of more than 1,000 kilometres per hour! Now the Boeing 787 Dreamliner (907 km/h) and Boeing 777 (905 km/h) aren't that fast, but still three times faster than a Formula 1 racing car. See below the speeds of the most common aircraft on Schiphol.


How safe is the A380?

A1: The Airbus A380 has an excellent safety record and is considered one of the safest aircraft in the world. Since its introduction in 2007, there have been no fatal accidents involving the aircraft.


Are 787 planes safe?

Incredibly safe. The 787–8, —9 & —10 are as safe as it's going to get in aviation. The issue with the 787 spacing issues — where gaps are larger than 0.005 inches — is a fatigue and cycles related issue. In normal manufacturing, their are manufacturing tolerances to account for slight differences in part builds.


Why is 787 called Dreamliner?

In July 2003, a public naming competition was held for the 7E7, for which out of 500,000 votes cast online the winning title was Dreamliner. Other names included eLiner, Global Cruiser, and Stratoclimber. All Nippon Airways launched the 787 program with an order for 50 aircraft in 2004.


Why is 777 so expensive?

What makes the plane so expensive? The 777-300ER can carry 365 passengers compared with the 787-9's capacity of 280. The GE engines on the 777 model develop 62% more thrust than the 787's two engines. The plane is also longer than the Dreamliner, has a greater wingspan and a greater wing area, and is taller.


Is Airbus safer than Boeing?

It was found that Boeing had more accidents than expected, while Airbus had fewer (p = 0.015). In terms of fatalities, Boeing had more than expected, with Airbus fewer (p < 0.001). Looking at accidents alone, only the number of fatalities was statistically significantly different.


Is Boeing 777 bigger than 747?

According to Boeing's data, the 777-9 has a total length of 251 feet 9 inches (76.72 meters). The 747-8 is just a bit smaller at 250 feet 2 inches (76.3 meters). The 777-9 is the longest commercial aircraft ever built.


Why 777 is the best plane?

The aircraft is highly popular with airlines (more than 1,500 passenger and freighter variants have been delivered) because it can carry a large number of passengers — and cargo — long distances using only two engines.
